Jellyfish (Hebrew: מדוזות - Meduzot) is a 2007 Israeli film based on a story by Shira Geffen and directed by her and her husband, Etgar Keret. The film tells the story of three women in Tel Aviv whose intersecting lives paint a portrait of Israeli life. Batya, a waitress at weddings, comes across a mute child who seemingly emerges out of the sea. Keren, a bride whose wedding Batya worked at, breaks her leg climbing out of bathroom stall and ruins her dream honeymoon in the process. And Joy, a Filipino domestic, attends with her employer with whom she struggles to communicate. Poetic imagery draws connections between the lives of these women, all of whom find solace in the sea.

Jellyfish was the winner of the 2007 Camera d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. The film stars Sarah Adler and Gera Sandler. In addition, Etgar Keret has a small cameo. The DVD release date is September 30, 2008.
